NOTE II. 

 TWO NEW COSMEMA-SPECIES 



(Cicindelidae : Coleoptera) 



OF THE AUROPUNCTATA-GROUP, FROM ANGOLA 



Dr. WALTHER HORN. 



I got some specimens of Cosmenia auropunctata Quad, 

 from my friend Dr. Cr. Wellman, who captured them in 

 Angola (Chiyaka district: XI, 1907). The material enables 

 me to give some additional notes to the author's description. 

 The »rib« of the elytra is a narrow smooth stripe, just a 

 little elevated in the middle of its breadth. The margin 

 of the elytra, outwards from the white longitudinal line, 

 is glossy blackish, almost polished, sparingly and finely 

 punctured; the disk is dull brownish with greenish rougher 

 sculpture : about as densely but less deeply punctured as 

 in C. Gruti Chd. The (f ^ have narrower elytra than 

 the 9 9> their tips tapering (in the 9 narrowly rounded) 

 without spine. Underside bald, blue-blackish, base of femora 

 not testaceous. Whole sternum with episterna and epimera 

 finely wrinkled, the two apical joints of palpi maxillares 

 testaceous, labrum of | of the length of that of 9? 

 transverse, the middle part (a little more than 3 of the 

 breadth) slightly produced, without tooth. 



The following two new species are closely allied. 



Cosmema Wellmani^ no v. spec. 



Differt a C. auropunctata statura minore; labro perparum 

 longiore; elytris brevioribus, antice eodem modo atque 

 postice (fortiter) angustatis, ut medium magis dilatatum
